Prerequisites

What to have in place before the first loop runs: a working agentic coding setup, the spec-driven habits the course assumes, and a primer on agentic coding itself. Skip whichever you already know.

• Agentic Coding Primer — The eight primitives your agent already ships with — the raw parts every loop is assembled from.
• Environment Setup — Get one AI coding agent installed and verified. Fifteen minutes, done once, never thought about again.
• Spec-Driven Primer — Why "make it better" fails and "make this condition true" works — the thinking behind every stopping condition in this course.
